The Transfer Tavern

5 wonderkids set to emerge from Arsenal next season

Arsenal are famous for their incredible academy with the likes of Ashley Cole, Cesc Fabregas and Jack Wilshere emerging from the ranks but who’s next to emerge from the youth set up?

With Hector Bellerin and Francis Coquelin the most recent players to settle into the first team, we look at who is to follow in their footsteps.

Wenger is not afraid to blood youngsters in his side and a good example of this, is the rise of Bellerin, who has had an impressive season at right back.

The French tactician called upon the 20-year-old after Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers both got injured, but Wenger has not looked back since.

Everyone thought Carl Jenkinson was the next right back for Arsenal fo years to come, but since his loan spell at West Ham, it seems as though Bellerin has leap frogged him in the pecking order.

Whilst Coquelin has surprised everyone in the Tavern after having a below average loan spell at Charlton, he is now an integral part of the Gunners’ midfield.

He has been at the top of the leaderboards in the 2015 in terms of interceptions and his pass completion rate and seems to be the right man to balance out their midfield, which is predominantly attack minded.

These two youngsters have been a breathe of fresh air at the Emirates and up next are five wonderkids who we think could feature in the first team next season.
